Snowflakes

Tuesday, November 12, 2013

Today, the first flurries of winter entered our sky. They were barely visible and didn't stick, but the bitter chill in the air was enough to convince us all that autumn is coming to a close. While I dread the onset of gray skies and coooooold, I'm sincerely looking forward to a bit of snow (white Christmas, please!)

Nashville isn't known for it's abundance of snow, but usually there will be a day or two where the town turns wintry white and looks like a frosty wonderland. I'm looking forward to bundling up my girls and letting them experience "real winter" for the first time in their lives.

On that note, a bit of beauty fell from the sky today, and led me to this poem by Longfellow that seemed fitting to share.

Yes, you might stick your tongue out at me for being a total word nerd, but that's okay. Today, a little snowflake might just land on that tongue. :)
